ROUNDUP: Boys lacrosse dominates in spring opener

April 19, 2024 by Joey Barrett, Mark Aboyoun

Talk about dominance. The Pioneers tripled up Hamilton-Wenham in enemy territory, 18-6, after leading 11-0 at halftime. Will Norton scored eight goals, Kelan Cardinal netted six alongside five assists, and Tyler Maddocks was 17-for-24 on faceoffs.

Other key players were Evan Rocha (goal, 2 assists), Owen Considine (3 goals, 3 assists), Owen White (assist), AJ Chiaradonna (2-for-3 faceoffs, 2 ground balls), and Ben Pimentel (8 saves).

St. John’s Prep’s (1-0) sixth-inning rally was enough to avoid a loss on home turf, beating St. John’s, 5-4.

The Eagles got into an early hole, finding themselves down 3-0 after the first inning. The Pioneers added another run in the top of the third inning thanks to an Andrew Schmit RBI single.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, St. John’s Prep loaded the bases after a James Willett single. Then, it was Gavin Gold who ripped a two-run double to left field to cut the lead in half (4-2).

Still in the sixth inning, Jack DiFilippo doubled to bring two runs in to tie the game 4-4. Prep took the lead a few batters later when pinch hitter Tyler Spear (first varsity at-bat) singled to left field, bringing in Christian Rosa to give the Eagles a 5-4 lead.

Now with a one-run lead heading into the final inning, Braeden Hurley pitched a 1-2-3 inning to earn the Eagles their opening day win.

SOFTBALL

Triton 6

Lynnfield 4

The Pioneers went down 6-0 after four innings and fought hard, but couldn’t complete the comeback. Lynnfield scored two runs in the sixth and seventh innings, but the early deficit was too much to overcome. 

“We struggled early defensively. Four errors led to a 6-0 Triton lead,” said Lynnfield coach Hector Longo. 

Lynnfield’s Morgan Hubbard recorded two RBI triples and also scored two runs. 

Triton’s reigning Cape Ann League Most Valuable Player, Emma Penniman, registered 11 strikeouts in the win. The ace allowed just four hits.

GIRLS LACROSSE

Lynnfield 18

Wilmington 9

The Pioneers scored five unanswered goals in the second quarter to lead 9-5, then never looked back. Lynnfield increased its lead to six (14-8) in the third quarter before holding Wilmington to just one fourth-quarter goal.

Winthrop 4

Talk about a dominant performance. Lynnfield played host to the Vikings on Tuesday and sent them home with a loss. Taylor Valiton led the charge with seven goals, while her sister, Hayden, netted a hat trick to go with an assist.

Ava Damiani, Aubrey Rocha, Kelly Briggs, and Jordan Calichman were Lynnfield’s other goal-scorers.
